Random Entertainment Poll: 5/25/2017

What is your favorite Best Picture Winner from the 1920s/30s?

Note: For some reason you're now only allowed ten options on polls, so I made an executive decision on which to not include.

 

It Happened One Night is one of the most pitch perfect comedies ever made.

 

The first of only three films to win Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and Screenplay at the Oscars. I'm going with it as well, although there are a lot of good films here. Speaking of comedies, I also remember enjoying You Can't Take It With You when I saw it, although it's been a while since I have.

What's next, picking the best of all the poll winners?

All Quiet On The Western Front
Casablanca
On The Waterfront
Lawrence of Arabia
The Godfather
Platoon
The Silence of the Lambs
No Country for Old Men
Moonlight

 

ive seen more of these than i did the 40s or 50s list (thank you film classes in college)

I'll go with western front (it happened one night a close 2nd)

 

A few I love here You made the right call excluding Cimarron (which is fine but creaky due to age), The Broadway Melody (which is just a competently made backstage "musical" from a moment when Hollywood wasn't sure what made a good sound movie yet) and Cavalcade, which is just not good.

Had to pick It Happened One Night, but I was tempted to give Grand Hotel the vote just so somebody would. Very underrated winner.

 

It Happened One Night is perfect. It I have to go with Sunrise.

 

I want to know who voted for You Can't Take It with You and high five them. Love that movie, too.
